Wei Hong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Since you can't dig trenches, you can replace them with other things, such as tripping horses." Our goal is to kill as many enemy forces as possible, as long as we drag them in the woods. Although the tripping horse rope cannot completely restrict the local war horses, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, it will not affect the battle situation. ”

Wei Hong's proposal was unanimously approved, and after this pre-war strategy, the tactics of the final battle were determined, and the entire Horsehair Mountain was mobilized.

Now the first thing to consider is the issue of the city gate, once the city gate is breached, how to prevent the enemy army from breaking into the city is a problem. Wei Hong's response method is to adopt a three-layer defense mode, the first layer is the main body of the city gate, supported from behind by wooden stakes, and the most basic reinforcement is done. Then arrange a hundred archers, once the city gate is breached, a hundred archers can shoot freely, because the city gate is narrow, when the enemy army pours in, a hundred archers can volatilize a great effect, as much as possible to kill and wound the enemy. In the unlikely event that the enemy cavalry forced their way in and the archers were unable to hold it, heavy cavalry was arranged to meet the enemy head-on as a third layer of defense. Despite the large number of Turkic troops, attacking only from the city gate is like a flood gate in a reservoir, when the flood is discharged, there is a lot of water in the reservoir, but very little comes out.

Except for the heavy cavalry, all the heavy infantry went up to the city wall to defend the Turks and attack the city with ladders.

The defense of the city is a top priority, and the deployment of the woods should not be underestimated. The workmanship of iron dysentery was simple, and it didn't take a few days to make a large pile, Wei Hong asked people to send a car to transport all of them to the woods in the north of the city, sprinkle them on the ground, and then use the yellow fallen leaves all over the ground as a camouflage to cover them. Finally, in the three directions where no Turkic cavalry would appear in the woods, ropes were tied to the trunks of trees to make improvised triphorses. For safety, between each tree, the rope should be tied three times, one at the bottom, one in the middle, and one at the top. The lower one is used to stumble the horse's legs, the middle one is used to block the horse from forcibly jumping over, and the upper one can deter and directly trip the cavalry off the horse's back.

After everything was ready, Qin Shubao left the Horsehair Mountain with the 25,000 soldiers and horses in the city, headed south, and hid in a relatively secret mountain col. At this time, there were only 3,000 Jade Dragon Guards and 2,000 defenders in the city, plus miscellaneous troops, a total of only 6,000 people, and the defense could be described as very weak. Later, Wei Hong intentionally or unintentionally threw the news to the Hui Turks, saying that he saw that the Hui Turks had not come to attack for a long time, and thought that the Hui Turks would not dare to really attack the Tang Dynasty, so he let the main force return to the north.

About three days later, a Turkic cavalryman dressed in leather armor rode into the Hui Turkic camp. While shouting the battle report, he rushed into the commander's camp. After entering, get down on one knee and present the battle report with both hands. There are four people sitting in the boss's tent, the first is the commander who attacked the Tang Dynasty, the second is the military division, and the other two are the generals in the army.

After reading the information, the coach stood up suddenly, looked up and laughed: "Hahaha, God really help me!" Li Shimin actually transferred the main force of Horsehair Mountain to the north! Now Horsehair Mountain is an empty city, and the defense is extremely weak, as long as my army is dispatched, we can take Horsehair Mountain in less than half a day! As long as the horsehair mountain is captured, the entire Datang will be close at hand! ”

As soon as the words fell, the military advisor next to him stood up and whispered, "Boss, don't be careless." The Tang Dynasty is strong, and there are countless good generals and ministers, and they will definitely not let Horsehair Mountain ignore it, there must be something strange in it! ”

Another general also got up and said: "What the military advisor said is right, Li Shimin knew that our 60,000-strong army was pressing the border, but instead transferred the main force of Horsehair Mountain away, according to the end of the future, Li Shimin must want to lure the enemy deeper!" ”

The boss waved his hand and said with a very arrogant smile: "These marshals naturally know, but the battle report is written in black and white that the scouts in front have found out the news, and there are indeed not many soldiers in the Horsehair Mountain, at most only 6,000 people." Even if there is fraud in it, our 60,000-strong army will storm Horsehair Mountain, and we will be able to take Horsehair Mountain in one hour. At that time, we will take Horsehair Mountain as a stronghold, no matter which direction the main force of Datang comes from, we can take defense as an attack and be invincible! "Although the commander is arrogant, what he said is not unreasonable, imagine that the Tang Dynasty army is only 30,000, and with the horsehair mountain as a stronghold, the entire Hui Turks can be blocked. If the 60,000 troops of the Hui Turks are stationed in Horsehair Mountain, not to mention the main force of the Tang Dynasty attacking, it will be the Tang Dynasty exerting its national strength, and it will be difficult to recapture Horsehair Mountain.

Hearing the commander's words, the military advisor shook his head again and again, and dissuaded: "Boss, have you ever remembered that the purpose of our trip is to attract the northern cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and annihilate its cavalry!" If we attack Horsehair Mountain now, wouldn't it be contrary to our grand strategy? ”

The coach waved his hand and retorted: "On the battlefield, what is important is improvisation!" Our grand strategy to annihilate the northern cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is to create an opportunity for the northern Yan to attack from the north and open the door to the Tang Dynasty. And now that the defense of Horsehair Mountain is empty, if Horsehair Mountain is broken, wouldn't it be the same as opening the door of the Tang Dynasty? At that time, we don't have to rely on the Yan Ya, we alone can occupy most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I don't think I need to say more, right? ”

At this moment, the general, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up: "There are still 6,000 defenders in the Horsehair Mountain, if the enemy is defending to the death, how can it be easy to break through the city gate?" Besides, did the commander remember that not long ago, 10,000 cavalry of our army were defeated by 3,000 Jade Dragon Guards? If the Jade Dragon Guard is also among the six thousand defenders, it will be even more difficult to capture Horsehair Mountain in a short period of time. Once there is fraud in this, not only will we not be able to capture Horsehair Mountain, but we will also be attacked by the main force of the Tang Dynasty and fall into a place of no return! ”

Recalling the incident of Yulongwei at the beginning, the coach still has lingering palpitations, but after thinking about it for a while, his soldiers and horses suffered losses because he didn't know the root of Yulongwei. Now that I have fought with the Jade Dragon Guard once, I know that the Jade Dragon Guard is a heavy armored unit, although the defense and combat effectiveness are amazing, but the movement speed is slow, and the attack tactics can be used to defeat the enemy. If you play again, the coach firmly believes that even if you don't win, you will definitely not lose so ugly! The coach held his head high and said in a sonorous voice: "The number of the Jade Dragon Guard is only 3,000, but is it the opponent of my 60,000 army?" Ben Shuai doesn't believe that Jade Dragon Guard can defeat a hundred with one enemy! Needless to say, the matter of attacking Horsehair Mountain, the commander has decided, immediately gathered men and horses, and then said that he would advance to Horsehair Mountain, and the day after tomorrow must capture Horsehair Mountain! With that, the boss shook his hand and left, leaving behind the three subordinates who looked at each other.
